a dead cactus; which is almost impossible. but I'd manage.

[@richhalloweenpumpkin_tealatte]

this actually reminds of me a situation in kpop, um a kpop idol Kim Jaejoong who was once apart of the kpop group TVXQ, left the group and sued their company which is SM entertainment, for a contract that was 13yrs long with excessive work schedules and I’m pretty sure he won the case but after he sued the company (in 2009 btw) the company blacklisted him and he’s literally been out of the industry since then because of it And it’s only like last year maybe he came back out and the company fr sent him a congratulatory flower thingy when he opened his own company which is is honestly disgusting after they got him blacklisted for nearly 2decades like-

[@dakillabee13]

Unique and talented, reminiscent of Amy but in her own way and has made it thru the other side. Love her! ❤❤❤

[@reiannestewart4901]

That’s what I thought, like a minimal 2024 version of Amy but totally her own style of verses, like a more kordwrn day version of her ❤

[@hearmenow909]

It's all over now, she got to where she deserved to be and that label situation just makes her success that bit sweeter. There's nothing stopping her now..

[@marshallgray2419]

Finally i have found an artist Worthy of my attention and I cant wait to watch her evolve

[@damiendalgaard5524]

She is a hero and an inspiration for so many. I hav not for a long time seen someone so brave, honest and authentic as her.

[@stefangrant1989]

Prince would be looking down at her applauding, saying “artists should never be slaves for the record company, held in captivity around their art and work, freedom is where true creativity lives”

[@thebillboard500club]

This is exactly why we try and help artists from the beginning because the "industry" can take beautiful souls and suck them dry in exchange for money, then spits them out broken, and then sucks up the next one looking for fame, validation, and attention. It's the cycle that they feed off ot

[@Adam_spence17]

I’ve only listened to her Song that went viral on TikTok, but her story is tragic. I could never imagine the frustration, sadness and betrayal she must’ve Felt when they told her she couldn’t do an Album.

[@Rio-by1eh]

She said it best …. In her interview in other place…. “ I FOUND MY FREEDOM” 💫💫✨✨💫

[@JTforty8]

So happy she won The Brits’ Artist of The Year 🎉

[@storms9023]

Just listened to her album. What a boss.

[@g.e.m9927]

I’m proud of you for this documentary, I’m a 52 Year old Woman mother Nanna, and I love your music. But hearing you speak about your journey not only are you brave ❤but speaking with such love and power trying to help other women. And your healing now ❤ that’s the best part in it all And seeing the closeness of your family. Fantastic voice, fantastic talent and the sky is the limit. Sending lots of love ❤️

[@Imnotspecial0.0]

And then went on and released the biggest song of her career so far. ❤️❤️

[@MsAyo123]

She's a very fxckin brave strong woman! ❤

[@AvaAPalma]

She’s incredible raw and real and I love her so much for that. She chose herself and won.

[@DianaPuert]

Her album helps me so much. Thank you for being so strong, Raye. You're light ❤

[@trishahitachi7216]

look at her natural beauty!!! love it, she deserves more recognition🎉❤

[@victormoses4124]

RAYE! PLEASE AND PLEASE 🙏🏾.... Always use the Iconic platform you have now on the world stage to speak about the ills in the music industry because unfortunately many are still suffering what you suffered till today. I hope your power now with your fame and fortune, will help us responsibly tackle the evils and manipulations of this wicked industry which is only supposed to be about 'Talent' and nothing else. God bless you RAYE. I/WE are very very proud of your success ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@flowfreely]

The same thing Prince was saying for years and years. These record companies are pure EVIL. Good for her, freedom reigns!

[@joco2826]

Yet they still keep signing those deals 😂

[@jolene7744]

​@joco2826 I can't blame them, though. For a lot of them, they think that their only way to success is signing the contract, which is partially true because without a label push, how will their music reach a large audience? Some of these artists want it so badly that they don't care about the repercussions of signing the contract. I will say though that there are a lot of artists who make it without a label, but it's only a select few.

[@kazzareilly6344]

So proud of you Raye ❤️

[@EzraSacks]

She's so.. honest. Down to earth. Refreshingly herself.

[@divinhaquem]

You go, girl! It's your voice, it's your life!

[@Deadly_Dosage]

I'm glad they parted ways. She created the most beautiful headache ever.

[@BFFR5150]

She deserves THE WORLD!😮‍💨💯👑❤️

[@Thebearmre7]

Knowing the way music industry works and that label works I would guess there was one person high up at label what she had pissed off and they were doing out of spite not to let her put on music.

[@bubbleteaicetea]

we know how it goes down with this industrie, I am actually surprised tey let her go ! i can feel she is still censoring herself about certain situation that happened within the label ..

[@TATTUTTAT]

It really breaks my heart that she had such a difficult life. The world is so unfair. We privileged people of the West bear the burden of the world! So let us, as representatives of our shared suffering, together with the actress who has been hit hard by fate, wet the soil of this unjust world with our tears. 🙏🏼

[@EureillePoole]

Good on you RAYE you are the best version of yourself we love your music in SA.

The struggle you've been trough that affected you as a whole everyday person, noboby should go trough that. Not for a label, not for anybody! They didn't deserve you, but they didn't realized that untill it was you, alone, successfull, without them, for the whole planet to see! You got this @Raye! You always did and you always will! Don't let anybody and i mean anybody tell you otherwise!❤

Perfectly stated! Are you going to be in control of your own life or allow someone else to control your life?

When an artist can’t create it’s like clipping a birds wings. It must’ve been so frustrating to not be able to express what’s inside you creatively when your voice inside is screaming.

It is really hard to be a musician, though it looks artistic and fabolous, being a musician is not a piece of cake, cause anyone will start from 0 before becoming something, But IMO, Music is not a competition, Music is not just about Business and Marketing, it is PASSION and no money could level the value of music🎼
